6 Month Rule: Take special care of your teeth at home every day with flossing and brushing. Also keeo your 6 month dental appointments for professional examination
and professional dental cleaning. Your dental visits will be a breeze with no pain since you have been flossing once a day and brushing twice a day.

If your teeth are predisposed to problems, they will be treated to bring your oral condition to healthy teeth and healthy gum status. Then your returning visits for
the preventive care becomes unbelievably pleasant.

Proper oral hygiene habits are learned early. As soon as your toddler can manage a toothbrush (24-30 months), supervised brushing instructions can create beneficial habits that last
a lifetime.

Children under 6 should be supervised at all times as swallowing toothpaste can be harmful.
